It's beautiful. The sun is shining on a 70+ degree day. Then, the clouds roll in and a thunderstorm builds; tornadoes loom; the skies are angry as the temperature drops and the weather changes. Hours later, Mother Nature turns the rains to ice, and the cold winds bring the blinding, blowing snow of a blizzard which closes interstates, schools, and offices. However just a day later, winter weather warnings once again give way to sun, clear skies, and spring temperatures...only to have the threat of more snow on the horizon of the forecast.

Yes, that is a week of weather in south central South Dakota. It is bananas. In spite of the clean living of most of our residents, we are at the mercy of what seems to be a PMSing Mother Nature. Well, I know what I want when PMS comes knocking at my door: cake. Roasted Banana Cake with Brown Butter Frosting has the best frosting ever, and we all know that frosting MAKES a cake. Let's bake some up as an offering to crazy old Mother Nature. Let's hope that Roasted Banana Cake On My Plate will save us from going bananas with the ever changing weather.
